I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967: The Graphic Novel by Georgia Ball, Lauren Tarshis
elementaldragons's review
I read this digitally because I needed a quick read. Since I've read 'The Night of the Grizzles' by Olsen, I was curious how this children's book would portray the horrific night. I was glad to see the educational information on grizzly bears and the positive environmental messages in this retelling.

The original story by Lauren Tarshis is based on true events. And this graphic novel is a great extra read to the original book. I love learning about these events and how the story puts me there. I would love to see the National Park but I have a healthy respect for bears and other wildlife that can hurt me. The one note I wrote while reading this book was about the illustration on pages 8 & 9 of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. Simply beautiful.

My son and I read this. I feel guilty as an adult I didn't know half the info in this book. Both my son and I learned things about Grizzlies in our hour read.

A nice graphic novel adaptation of [b:I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967|37715349|I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 (I Survived, #17)|Lauren Tarshis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1521161062l/37715349._SX50_.jpg|59353597]. This story has been one of my favorites so far in the series (You can read my review here ). Nice balance of showing the dangers of grizzly bears, but also what humans can do to avoid dangerous interactions. There is a large emphasis on respecting wildlife, responsibly disposing of trash, making your presence known when hiking, and keeping your distance from wild animals.
The backmatter contains information on the context leading up to the attacks, a timeline of the attacks, ways the reader can help wildlife, and bear safety tips including what to do during a bear attack. This last section was especially well-suited for the graphic novel format as the visuals reinforce the instructions. I did miss the diagram highlighting the differences between black bears and grizzly bears found in the original, but there was still a lot of great information.
A nice read for those who enjoy learning about animals, historical fiction, and the outdoors.
